Match Thread | Man City vs Leicester (27/09/20)

[El Ingeniero de Noruega]

Piss poor

 

[Homar]

Vardy is constantly playing off Garcia. He has actually done well overall, but Walker takes the risk he does because he knows that Garcia isn’t getting to Vardy before the shot comes in.

The warning signs were there long before the goal. You need your centre-half pair to have pace if you play as high a line as we do against the likes of Vardy. This is why signing Dias is so baffling to me. He doesn’t do anything to address this very obvious defensive defect.

You can say that we’re playing to our weaknesses, but the way we play isn’t going to change under Pep. The lack of pace at CB is made worse by the two holding midfielders in front of them. Again, looks like we won’t be addressing that either...

 

[PhdWave]

Is it me are our open play attack not up to the mark? I mean sterling foden are pretty much sitting in between the lines and we are not finding a proper way to use them at all..I dont know I feel that we should be testing leicester from open play a lot more than this...

 

[Blu1]

We are not creating chances that’s the issue today. No pace or creativity

leicester will get at least 1 or 2 more chances guaranteed.

pep needs to shuffle the pack for the 2nd half starting with foden & sterling & dropping fern deeper to protect the break. Fern is pushing up too much.

 

[CWMCFC]

Foden’s wasted on the left and Mendy continues to look absolutely useless.

The main thing I worry about Mendy is that he’s now completely devoid of all attacking threat. Just looks like a rabbit in the headlights when he gets the ball at his feet near the box.

Leslie. Drury doesn't do Sky.

Drury and Scouse **** Beglin doing US commentary.

 

[Keeper!]

Any list of worst transfers that doesn’t have Mangala on top of it doesn’t count. Even Stones is a worse buy imo.

Where is Jonny Stones? "Injured" again?

Garcia going is a big loss

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Agree With this take. Thought we did very little from open play. Can’t recall a game where Foden has been this invisible either.

Foden is wasted on the left wing.

 

[teddykgb]

Foden needs to get involved ,apart from one bad pass i haven't heard his name

He shouldn’t have started. He’s young and has legs but this is too much football and he put in a shift in the first two.

 

[Gordyola]

“No one is better than Varey at winning penalties”= He’s good at diving and a cheat

 

[dctid]

Same old boring tippy tappy shit, teams Just sitting back packing the defence and waiting for city to lose the ball and hitting us on the break

A repeat of last season

in 40 years of watching city whilst technically the football we watch is brilliant it’s boring as fuck

 

[Cityzen_89]

So sky saying Leicester have been great ? But if I was a neutral I would be asleep by now not a good advert for football, boring as f**k

Turn off the commentry it's like being at the bowling green lol

 

[paulchapo]

It's the second season now we've been crying out for a centre half, a left back and another striker. Since then we've lost a world class midfield player in Silva. Rodri is slow and Fern is 35, Foden still a kid really. Sure injuries are hurting us but we still need world class players in our problem positions of we want success, particularly in the champions league.

 

[Kokonut1307]

Cancelo, Laporte, stones, gundagon, Jesus, Sergio, Bernardo all out and twats on here crying like little babies because we’re not 3 or 4 nil up.

That team out there should still be leading and winning comfortably

 

[bluealf]

Well more fool them.

Do you really think an armband makes that much difference?

 

[Paulpowersleftfoot]

Cancelo, Laporte, stones, gundagon, Jesus, Sergio, Bernardo all out and twats on here crying like little babies because we’re not 3 or 4 nil up.

Not a one of the spoilt tossers were stood with me on windy corner

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Mendy is now responsbile for other players performances; the agenda some people have against certain players is laughable!

Actually it's a fair point, if someone is out of position the player closest has to go cover.
I'm not agreeing with the point but I can absolutely see the logic

 

[Keeper!]

Didn’t Doyle play yesterday?

For who?

 

[Fallingbostel Blue]

When discussing our injury problems and lack of fitness gnev pipes up "they have the biggest squad and have spent more than anyone in the last 6 or 7 years " Drury says " I don't think many will feel sorry for them to which gnev replies " get the party poppers out"
set of cunts...started slagging us off since the equaliser

It’s Bill Leslie commentating

 

[Craig]

Rinse & Repeat. Different personnel, 2 holding Mids, 1 holding Mid, same outcome.

Yeah unless you sit deep which we never will they offer us barely anymore protection and obviously offer next to nothing going forwards. Simply because teams counter by playing everything down the channels or over the top.
